I bred 3 girls at 6 months old. They are sisters and live in a colony. 2 kindled last week and the third this week. All 3 did a good job at pulling fur and making nests. Litter #1 (Himalayan): 10 kits, 4 dead when I found them, 4 looking weak and underfed, 2 looked okay. The living ones died off...

I'm hopefully purchasing my own property this year, and I'm thinking ahead to how I want to house my rabbits. I just have a few meat mutts right now, but I want the ability to have a larger rabbitry if my goals change. I don't want to use typical cages because of heat and space concerns, and I...

I just noticed that my new red rex buck has a funny widow's peak of darker color. I checked the picture I took of him when I first got him a week ago, and it was more subtle. His legs also seem to be a bit darker. Is this just a stage of molting or growing adult fur? (He is 3 months old.) It's...

I'm getting tired of filling multiple J-feeders each day. This litter of 9 sure eats a lot. :lol: Are there any large capacity rabbit feeders on the market, or DIY options?

I thought that REWs were incapable of producing black or red pigmented hairs, but my two REWs are developing black on the tops of their tails and around their noses. Is this typical? Does it give any extra information about their underlying genetics? Kits were born on Dec 12. This photo was...

This is just for fun, as I'm breeding my buns for meat rather than color/pedigree, but I love puzzles! I started with a doe and buck of unknown lineages. They have had two litters so far. I put their pictures and my guesses as to genetics on a blog post: https://growmakelearnthrive.blogspot.co...

I processed my first litter of rabbits today. For the first two, I used the Ballista penetrating bolt gun (https://www.bunnyrancher.com/store/p42/ ... _Gun_.html). I had watched the video on their website and read the PDF instructions on where to place the bolt, and to apply firm pressure...

My very first litter of meat mutts is almost 3 weeks old now. I plan on keeping the two friendliest females to replace their mother, who is skittish. But 3 of the kits are all black and 2 have the same agouti color. I need to differentiate them so that I can tell who is consistently...

Hello! I am new to (meat) rabbit raising. I currently have a male and female (in separate kennels), and a week old litter of 7 on the ground. They are living in large kennels with concrete floors and wooden and fenced sides. They have straw for their bedding. The kennels have shelves built in...
